When the Ford Maverick debuted for the 2022 model year, there was considerable excitement and speculation from the many devotees of the Blue Oval. Ford's reputation for building the best trucks on the road is well established, whether it's their F-series or the Ranger. The Maverick was a different type of Ford truck altogether. Smaller in size but still just as capable of accomplishing the arduous tasks that many Ford truck owners have on their plate, the Maverick has since earned a reputation as a capable workhorse, albeit on a smaller scale. Here at DePaula Ford, we're always excited when new offerings from a new model year arrive on our lot. Not only do we get to observe Ford's innovations and developments, but we also get to assist our customers with choosing the model and trim that suits their needs.
Today, we're taking a special look at the 2025 Ford Maverick. Ford has made many new improvements and additions, many of which can provide truck drivers with the performance and economy they look for. Small in size but enormous in capability, the 2025 Ford Maverick is the definitive proof that big things come in small packages. Competing against the likes of the Chevy Colorado and Hyundai Santa Cruz, the Ford Maverick is out to secure its place in its class as the ultimate class-leaser.

While the 2025 Ford Maverick is a smaller truck than some of the other popular models in its class, Ford still brings a fair amount of performance to the table, which will deliver the goods. The Maverick comes available with two unique powertrains that can facilitate any task at hand. The first of these is a 2.5L four-cylinder hybrid engine that's paired with an electric motor. The hybrid version of the Maverick offers 191 hp and utilizes a continuously variable transmission to provide drivers with exceptional fuel economy. Estimates provided by the EPA show that the hybrid version of the Maverick will achieve 42 MPG in the city and 33 MPG during highway travels. These figures are far more impressive than some hybrid sedans Toyota and Honda offer.
The other powertrain setup that's available on the Ford Maverick is a 2.0L four-cylinder that pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The non-hybrid version of the Maverick is certainly more pleasing to those who favor performance over economy, as 238 hp and an available towing capacity of 4,000 lbs turns make for a reliable workhorse.
For those who wish to unleash the sportiness of Ford's compact pickup, the Lobo sport truck, an all-new trim for the 2025 model year, utilizes AWD and the 2.0L four-cylinder but pairs these attributes with a seven-speed automatic transmission. The Lobo has a powered suspension and a trim-exclusive driving mode. Similar to the F-150, the Maverick can also be had in the Tremor trim, specifically designed for the rough and tumble world of off-roading.
The mark of an exceptional truck is offering variety to a diverse group of drivers. The Maverick can meet any driver's needs and facilitate several tasks with its multiple trims. It is versatile and capable. Two powertrains, one offering exceptional fuel economy and the other delivering remarkable performance, make the Maverick a great buy for anyone.
Besides the exceptional performance and economy that can be found in the powertrains of the Ford Maverick, there are even more surprises in store when you decide to get behind the wheel. The interior of any vehicle is where you spend the bulk of your time, and the Ford Maverick is decked out with tech-savvy items and amenities that make for an engaging and comfortable experience. Depending on your penchant for luxuries at your disposal, there are multiple items that can be equipped. Items such as ambient interior lighting, Dual-Zone Climate Control, and a high-end stereos system from the experts at Bang & Olufsen.
In an ever-increasing digital world, having access to the apps that allow us to function throughout our day is essential. As is the case with many modern vehicles, the Ford Maverick's interior is anchored by its infotainment screen. All trims of the 2025 Ford Maverick have a 13.2-inch screen, which also happens to be the largest in its class. The screen offers wireless compatibility with Apple and Android products and comes equipped with SYNC 4, Ford's user-friendly and intuitive software suite. SYNC 4 has the advantage of receiving over-the-air updates, ensuring that you always have the latest version at your fingertips.
Because many drivers utilize trucks like the Maverick in towing and trailering capacities, Ford has equipped their compact pickup with various technologies that make the transportation of cargo easier than ever. Pro Trailer Hitch and Backup Assist are standard on select trims. Backing up and connecting to your payload has never been easier, and available camera views are in place to ensure you have oversight during transit.
Modern drivers expect more from what they drive. The Ford Maverick checks all of the boxes to offer drivers an immersive driving experience that ensures comfort and connectivity. With its class-leading infotainment screen and items that provide oversight that tradespeople can take advantage of, the 2025 Ford Maverick is truly a modern marvel to behold.
There's nothing more important in a vehicle than safety. For this reason, we've decided to cover this essential topic last. Ford has always maintained a consistent reputation for providing the vehicle-buying public with safe and reliable offerings that allow for an added layer of protection and oversight to provide the best peace of mind.
The 2025 Ford Maverick has the advantage of the Ford Co-Pilot360, one of the most comprehensive suites of safety and driving assistance technologies. It provides an added layer of protection and oversight when you're on the road, and the features it comes equipped with are poised and primed to protect you during travel.
The fleeting moments that exist between noticing a potential collision is about to take place and executing the necessary maneuvers go by in the blink of an eye. By utilizing radar and camera technology, the road ahead is monitored to ensure you keep a safe distance from the other vehicles to preserve reaction time. In the event you don't employ braking, automated emergency braking will engage to help minimize the damage during a collision and, in some cases, assist you in avoiding one altogether.
Maintaining a proper position on the road is vital to being a safe driver. Most drivers are fairly conscientious of this, but visibility can sometimes be limited. Ford's lane-keeping aid monitors your position in traffic and alerts you if you are veering out of your lane.
Oversight is essential for any driver, regardless of their vehicle. It is especially important for drivers who use a vehicle such as the Ford Maverick for their daily commute, occupational tasks, and extracurricular activities. The standard rear-view camera is essential for backing out safely and also keeping an eye on your payload.
Automated high beams are another standard item that enhances visibility. These engage when visibility is limited, such as in late-night driving conditions, and disengage when approaching oncoming traffic.
Other available items, such as Adaptive Cruise Control, can also be included; it all depends on your preference for protection. By offering many essential items as standard, Ford reinforces its reputation as a manufacturer that prioritizes the safety and protection of its drivers.
